In my experience I have only seen these survive/thrive in mature reef tanks. They are very sensitive to changes in any of the core tank parameters (temp, salinity, ph, alk, etc.). They also seem to feed on the type of stuff only a well established tank has growing on live rock.
I have seen many already wasting away in LFS tanks. This seems to be true of all the fromia and linkia stars. Again, just my observations - maybe someone will chime in with their success stories.
